Resilient and Sustainable Caring

"""Karen's timely work goes beyond the resiliency support we see in health- care today. This is a practical guide for truly sustainable self-care translating to the care of others. Health systems would do well to implement such a program. We all stand to learn what is at the core of our doubts and discomfort. Digesting and internalizing this book, especially in the company of others, is truly the beginning of mastering joy in our work."" - Lisa Prusak, MD ""This deeply reflective book has the potential to benefit so many. What comes to mind, based on my experience in Africa and the Americas, are the front-line workers responding to humanitarian emergencies in their home countries: heroes who often need to process their own loss and grief and help their families through disaster while selflessly providing life-saving assistance to others."" - Judith Anne Thimke, Former UN World Food Programme Manager and Country Director ""This book is a powerful tool. If you read it and put it into practice, you will surely live with a better quality of life as an individual, as part of a family and a community. Karen provides a wisdom that helps people live more vibrantly."" - Miriam Sierra, World Vision Honduras ""Dr. Schuder's work helped me shift my focus from making decisions based on approval to a purpose-driven outlook. This freed me to make a major career and life change that dramatically improved my resilience and ability to serve others while caring for my needs. Karen made me feel supported and valued at a time when I was experiencing burnout and exhaustion. She helped me see the value I bring to others because of the person I am, not just because of my role."" - Julie Knuths, DNP, RN, PHN, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Undergraduate Nursing, College of St. Scholastica"
